Oversharing Waring

Here it is, episode 20! In this episode, I talk about what I've learnt from starting a podcast and how social construct means that people are afraid to speak the truth for fear of being judged. I also share a counselling session I had recently that allowed my subconscious thoughts to emerge to the surface. I hope it helps people to feel empowered about speaking their truth and feel less alone. Keep an eye out for season 2 of Oversharing Waring!
